Howdy sir
First off, don't worry, nothing crazy will be happening for a while.
I just wanted to give you ample warning of my plans.
I never planned to do Alfie for very long, it kind of just
happened. That's not to say I don't enjoy doing the comic, I love Alfie! I just never banked on him being something I'd stick with for a long while.
That being said, I have been thinking of how to end the series for a while now, simply because I wanted it to do just that-- end.
I was mapping out the dates, and for a while I was thinking of ending on the 50th strip. However, for the sake of simplicity, I shall end it on the last Monday of July.
August 1st shall be the first Monday in about a year that Alfie will not update.
The reason I am telling you this is two-fold.
1) I cannot thank you enough for giving me a place to host my comic, and to let me just do my thing.
I know Alfie may not have been exactly what everyone was expecting, but it was what I felt like doing at the time, and for allowing me to do so, I thank you.
2) You deserve so much more than just a two-weeks notice
I don't know if you'll be able to find a replacement for Mondays, or what will happen there..
I may come up with a new idea I want to put in that time-slot, but for now, I'll probably be focusing on other things. Like I said though, it's a long ways away, and I never know when inspiration may strike.
There is really only one definite in all this;
Alfie will run it's final strip on July 25, 2011.
Though, I won't be going anywhere, so don't you fret
Thanks Dave, you truly helped me give myself the push that I needed to get my creative juices flowing.
